A biographical portrait of the Japanese adventurer Naomi Uemura, the first man ever to reach the North Pole solo, the first man ever to raft the Amazon solo, and the first man ever to climb Denali solo. In 1970 Uemura was the first member of a Japanese team of 39 climbers to reach the summit of Mount Everest. In February 1984 Uemura began a solo winter climb of Mount McKinley. On February 13 he spoke by radio with Japanese photographers, saying that he had made the top and descended back to 18,000 feet. He planned to reach base camp in another two days, but never made it. His diary was found in a snow cave by a search party, but Uemura's body has never been recovered.
